| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 教育心理與輔導學系 === 98 === The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between emerging adults’ interpersonal self-defining memories and interpersonal self-efficacy. The Interpersonal Competence Questionnaire and the Interpersonal Self-Defining Memory Questionnaire were administered to 105 emerging adults (21 males and 84 females). The Interpersonal Self-Defining Memory Questionnaire was to collect three personally important narratives related to peer interaction, which were coded for the redemption sequences, the contamination sequence, emotional tone, and event content (including conflict, intimacy and separation) to assess the emerging adults’ interpretation of past events. Four major findings were as follows:
First, the contamination sequences of the interpersonal self-defining narratives were negatively correlated with the initiation and the disclosure scores of self-efficacy, and significantly predicted the overall interpersonal self-efficacy. The redemption sequences of the interpersonal self-defining narratives were positively correlated with the emotional support scores of self-efficacy, and significantly predicted the overall interpersonal self-efficacy. Second, the conflict and separation contents of the narratives were negatively correlated with the overall emotional tones of the narratives. The intimacy contents of the narratives were positively correlated with the overall emotional tones of the narratives. Third, the overall emotional tones of the narratives were negatively correlated with the contamination sequences of the narratives. Fourth, the intimacy contents of the narratives were negatively correlated with the contamination sequences of the narratives. The conflict contents of the narratives were positively correlated with the redemption sequences of the narratives. The conflict and separation contents of the narratives were positively correlated with the contamination sequences of the narratives. Research limitations and possible implications for future research were also discussed in the study.
